Direct to PDF - Comments

Question

We have been asked if it possible to add "comments" when using Direct to PDF - we are currently on 9.6.2. 
 Has anyone else had reason to add comments to a PDF direct from XPP and if so how was this achieved.

[edited version as per Jonathan's remarks] Indeed creating notes is simple. And if you are using classic IF/XMLmode, remember that you can add a CSS stylesheet that contains the rules with the pdf css properties, like the -xpp-pdf-annotion one. When you name that CSS file according to the style you use for that job, you just add the -pdfba option when printing. Direct PDF will use that CSS file and produce a PDF with annotations In the PDF Support in XPP manual you find the following on page 8-2 [PDF Tagging Features]: 
 CSS is used to tag the textual content and generate bookmarks/annotations (links). Output options allow for creating a fully PDF/UA-compliant document or using CSS to generate bookmarks and annotations only, without having to tag all the content. These properties work with both CSS-XML and XML Divisions, provided that the XML is well-formed and the markup is based on the logical reading order of the document.
